The Professor Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Two Italian men have registered the Commodore name and are releasing a new Android-powered smartphone which they are calling the PET, just like the original machine.

RickR Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Nice, but I'd rather have a real original PET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 The 4032 was the computer I learned to program on in high school. I'd love to have one now, but they are impossible to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo-Yo Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 They're trying to do this with Atari Android phones too. If they didn't have an Atari or Commodore logo on them these phones would be a big nothingburger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari Adventure Square Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 yeah, gimme beige casing with a 64 boot-up screen everytime you turn it on. This is The Future. No reason not to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I'd rock it. But I don't even have a smart phone. The Mrs does and we don't need 2.

Clint Thompson Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I like how there are no pictures of the actual unit functioning or LCD itself. I don't get the shoddy branding of these devices just like when Atari tosses their logo on cheaply manufactured eletronic devices. I just can't. 7800 - 130XE - XEGS - Lynx - Jaguar - ISO: Atari Falcon030 | STBook |STe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
